BAKER CITY – (Originally Posted to Baker City Weekly Update for August 26) A Message from the City Manager…“Elections for City Council will be held this November. We have four openings on City Council. The City Recorder/Elections Official received documentation and paperwork for eight candidates. The citizens of Baker City will have the opportunity this fall to select the four candidates that will ultimately fill the seats starting with the first meeting in January. As staff, we will prepare to provide onboarding and important operational and procedural information to the elected Councilors this January. As city manager, I invite all the candidates to schedule a time to meet with me individually and have a discussion about city operations. I am happy to provide information to candidates and any citizen for that matter about how and why the city operates the way it does. Some matters such as personnel are not legal for me to discuss, but most issues are fair game.”
